Identify the institution you selected from the Interactive Community and write a brief (approximately 100-word) description of an evaluation need it may have. You can base your proposal on a description of a program or initiative in the community, or you can propose a different one that you are confident would be pertinent for that institution. If you need guidance with how to write a concise case, look at the “case examples” on pages 8–9 of the resource by Shakman and Rodriguez (2015). You should write your own original case based on the Interactive Community, but you can model it after the examples in the resource by Shakman and Rodriguez. The goal is to be concise and yet specific.
After reading the Bryson (2004) article in this week’s Learning Resources, as well as others of your choosing from the Walden Library or other academic sources, write a profile of four to six stakeholders who would be involved in or affected by an evaluation at this organization. In describing the stakeholders for your setting, consider Bryson’s explanation of who is a stakeholder.
Explain the data collection methodology that would be appropriate with your identified stakeholders. For example, if you profile stakeholders who are clients at a hospital clinic, you might identify data collection through anonymous questionnaires rather than a Delphi technique that requires repeated contact. (You do not have to describe the presumed evaluation project for which you would be collecting data.)

Explain the level of contact or communication that each stakeholder would need before, during, and after an evaluation project as well as each stakeholder’s familiarity with evaluation and its vocabulary.
Propose an optimal communication medium for each stakeholder (e.g., electronic, print, face-to-face, etc.) and the considerations that would be best practices in any plan (reading level, diverse languages, physical impairments to communication, etc.).
Finally, explain and address any ethical considerations for your communication plan with stakeholders.
